Cyclic Shuffle-Compatibility and Cyclic Quasisymmetric Functions
Abstract.
A permutation statistic st is said to be shuffle-compatible if the distribution of st over the set of shuffles of two disjoint permutations π and σ depends only on st π, st σ, and the lengths of π and σ. This notion is implicit in Stanley's work on P-partitions, and was first explicitly studied by Gessel and Zhuang, who developed an algebraic framework for shuffle-compatibility in which quasisymmetric functions play an important role. Later, Domagalski et al. defined a version of shuffle-compatibility for statistics on cyclic permutations. We develop an algebraic framework for cyclic shuffle-compatibility in which the role of quasisymmetric functions is replaced by the cyclic quasisymmetric functions recently introduced by Adin et al.
